How can I tell if Silver is Real? At Home Test

If you have silver at home and want to test it to see if it’s real, consider these tips and tricks:

 

1. The Ice Cube Melting Trick – Silver is a conductor of heat. So if you place an ice cube on silver, it should melt faster than if you were to place the cube on a standard countertop.

2. “Ping” Test – A real silver coin makes a warm ringing sound for a couple seconds upon hitting something hard. Mixes of silver and nickel/copper coins.

3. Magnet Test – Silver has very low magnetic qualities so if you have a strong magnet, hold it close to the suspected silver and see it is attracted to it.
